Reed83HOF Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) Adam SchefterVerified account @AdamSchefter FollowingFollowing @AdamSchefter Chiefs are expected to trade CB Marcus Peters to the Los Angeles Rams, sources tell ESPN. Teams are in final stages of talks and barring an unexpected snag, the trade is expected to be agreed to as early as today.

thebandit27 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Wouldn't shock me if it's a 2nd rounder with LAR knowing that they'll recoup multiple 3's next year with at least 2 of Joyner, Trumaine, and Sammy leaving in FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Not really sure how the Rams plan to afford him. They've already got to pay Aaron Donald the richest contract for a defensive player in NFL history and find a way to keep Lamarcus Joyner, Sammy Watkins, Mark Barron, and Robert quinn. After THAT, they're going to have to pay Todd Gurley and Jared Goff. I just don't see where they're getting all this money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonCents Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 That means Trumaine Johnson is gone. That's not much of an upgrade if any. He is more consistent and less dramatic than Peters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 They can tag watkins if they want... then the first priority will be donald. Who will want more money than Suh, and likely won't play under a 5th year option if he can prevent it. Not paying him will just result in more headaches down the line and rough negotiations. The 2nd priority becomes extending peters/gurley. Peters will want to be the highest paid CB in the NFL. Ditto for Gurley wanting to be the highest paid RB in the NFL in 2019. Gurley may also not want to play under a 5th year option, as he plays the position where players seem to be hurt the most. Then you have Watkins, who i'm not sure will sign there in 2018 unless he's tagged. He knows he can go to SF or something and be the #1 and get like 90 catches (assuming he's healthy). Could be a tag/trade candidate so that they can recoup some 2018 draft capital. They have the cap room to make it work, but Donald already held out once, so he's very likely to do it again. If Peters is being traded on his rookie contract as a 2x All-pro corner, then I assume he's also likely to hold out of his 5th year option. After all this, you have the problem of having the highest paid DT, CB, and RB in the NFL. And a QB who's rookie contract will be expiring. Will be interesting to see what they do.

YoloinOhio Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) I have a feeling the Rams could be trading a player with the picks. The other teams who were trying to get him, Browns and niners, have more draft capital that the Rams. And that is also what put the Redskins over the top on the Alex Smith deal. Just a hunch.

Vet DB coach told me when he was coming out that you need a strong-willed coach to get the most out of a strong personality like Peters..."It takes a wolf to coach a wolf" #LARams W.Phillips has no problems w/those kinds of players.(See A.Talib) Ian RapoportVerified account @RapSheet 25s26 seconds ago At one point, the #Chiefs were pushing to trade for DE Robert Quinn, along with a draft pick. But sounds like now it’ll be just draft picks going over to KC for Marcus Peters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 What are the Rams doing?? They have $40 million in cap space, about half of which will go to Aaron Donald. They have multiple pending free agents who were starters last year. They only have 2 picks in the first 100 this year. What could they possibly give up for Peters without sacrificing the future of the team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a move to sacrifice draft capital to avoid paying Johnson and still have a legit number one corner. If I was a Rams fan I wouldn't be excited about Les Snead handling all the upcoming decisions but this looks smart on the surface. It keeps the tag available, saves money short term, I expect them to use whatever picks they do have on oline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenorthremembers Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Chiefs probably understand cornerbacks dont win games for them. And this guy, even though he can cover, cant tackle worth a darn and is a complete and utter head case. They traded away a guy who they may have only had for another year for one or more players they will have for four. They picked up a couple cornerbacks, he was expendable.

That was the only thing that separate Whaley from being a good GM. and it's a good trade for both teams. Peters is a moron but getting traded might be the best thing for him. im jealous of the talent on the Rams now. It's funny because their GM was so awful for a lot of years.
